(Don't mention the war.) Our regular winters are now much like winter in London: rain and sleet but seldom real snow nowadays let alone frozen canals. Personally I think a real winter is fine, also photographically, but otherwise I much more prefer the sun. Which is why I am rooting for Malaga in winter. Having said that, Amsterdam under a good blanket of snow is a sight not to be missed. Ice but no snow is also not bad though 😁 Just now I see they actually did stuff to the image. Spot the differences. Hello Amsterdam magazine. wim Wim, they. really didn't like that white van did they? Or your sky for that matter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wiskerke Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 1 hour ago, Ed Rooney said: Wim, my stepbrother, Bill Curran, owned a bar in Marbella. He was trying to break into films and in fact played the lead in a bad Spanish horror film. Kid liked to follow him around calling him Monster Man. Sorry about Florida. I forgot about the Europe part. I was underwhelmed by Marbella. Marbella may be big, but Malaga is a real city (and 3x the size of Marbella). The food capital of Spain is San Sebastián I believe. Not yet been there. Nor in nearby Bilbao. Very rainy cities. Maybe more of a summer destination. But maybe your question was meant more in general as opposed to where would you go now, or this winter. Never seen any Spanish horror. I loved the westerns that were shot in the Almeria desert. Just happened to play about all versions I have of the tunes of For a Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More this afternoon. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I counted 5 differences: 3 people shifted; the sky and that ginormous Land Rover. Where did they get that canvas top from? And where does it sit in a real Land Rover with a canvas top? That sky was before we had sky replacement. And it shows. I don't mind the parts of trees that gone missing, but the gold ornaments of the church tower would have stood out much better against their sky. Except for that car and the amped up reds in people's clothing, I get the changes. - Note to self: go to 11 more often. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jansos Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Copenhagen, along the Nyhavn waterfront is very photogenic at the right time of year. Cheap to get to, also. https://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/planning/nyhavn-gdk474735 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bryan Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Has no one mentioned Cordoba? My favourite Spanish city, fabulous architecture etc. Not a city but I have fond memories of a week spent at Millau in southern France, superb walks in the hills around, quaint nearby villages and of course that beautiful viaduct. Staying in France, Auxerre is one of my favourite cities, the view from the river with the cathedral reflected in the water is something special, then there are the quaint streets of half timbered houses. I recall cycling along the riverside to get there and being wowed by the view. I guess I'm not a city person but locally Newcastle with its numerous impressive bridges over the river, the bustling quayside, and what remains of Grainger Town always impresses. Staying local, I never tire of Durham and its riverside walks while the situation of the cathedral high above the river must be one of the most impressive in Europe. Finally I'll add my vote for Glasgow, surprisingly green and with some stunning architecture. Edited November 10, 2022 by Bryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Thanks again for all the interesting suggestions.

0 spacecadet Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 HB, Ed. Here's another cake, pastel de nata from Lisbon, great town. But if you have to choose, Porto. Or as we did get the train porto-Lisbon. Careful, it's hot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ed Rooney Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 I love Lisbon, Mark. Porto has too many hills for us old guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 spacecadet Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Plenty of trams, Ed. But yes, hills. In Lisbon we sat inside a Goan restaurant by the castle and watched the rain cascade down the cobbled slopes. Venturing out would have been unwise so we ordered more wine. but at least Lisbon has a lift..........

0 spacecadet Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Edo, I see you can do Gdansk from Liverpool. Porto but not Lisbon unfortunately. Oh and Vienna. Sachertorte. And Budapest. Tokay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
